Ex-lover of California educator broke into his school account and mailed indecent images.

The ex-boyfriend of a California high school science teacher allegedly broke into the educator’s email account and distributed indecent images of the man to hundreds of youths and local adults, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports.

An investigation began in July when more than 200 students, school staff and community members received the email containing four naked pictures of the well-respected teacher.

Detectives later learned the teacher was out of the country at the time the emails were generated. Further investigation revealed the emails were sent by the teacher's estranged partner, David A. Galvan, according to police.
